my 2nd hand l series has just hit 180,000kms and wanna get a good tuneup and possibly safety check/service- is there anywhere anyone would recommend or should i just go to my local subaru servicer.

In thornlie- where is the local subaru servicer?

Mabey give Rotomotion in Guilford a call Subi. They are the WA distros for Microtech and will have the right knowledge to fine tune it. Pretty sure they have a dyno too.
Oh by the way we just had a massive cleanup due to getting new floors here - I found my Microtech hand controller.

Hm most decent mechanics should be able to tune up a standard EA carby, sorry I don't have a specific recommendation for that though Milla.

when automasters did mine, they struggled...it came out using more fuel and running abit dodgy...

my 2c is learn to do the simple tuneup yourself, ie timing, spark plugs,air filter. For a carby, money saved can be used for a carby overhaul by the pro mech. best find an old school mech too.

If, the idle is not smooth then its not getting enough fuel i think, so i reckon DAve did the right thing. Check out your cruise map though, the map should have a steady reduction in fuel, this can effect your overall fuel use. Also there is a deceleration fuel cut which takes a bit of twiddling, too harsh and you'll get a lurching effect though when you come off throttle.

Would be good to discuss various aspects of tuning aftermarket ecu, i'm still learning i reckon....
